“On the one hand, we write the applications together so that the allowance is approved. On the other hand, when it comes to managing the projects afterwards, we use innoscripta's software, which is very intuitive to use and, above all, provides security when dealing with the tax authorities. (...) We have had very good experiences with it in recent years, and our collaboration with innoscripta has also been very successful.”

The Challenge: Navigating complex programme requirements
Over the past 75 years, Fritz Winter has continually evolved to stay competitive and innovative. The government-backed research allowance programme has been a valuable opportunity to support their innovations.
However, navigating the complexities of securing research funding and ensuring compliance with the relevant authorities’ requirements became highly demanding, which required a structured and reliable approach.
The Solution: Partnering with innoscripta
To address their concerns and leverage the federal government’s research allowance programme, Fritz Winter collaborated with innoscripta.
With innoscripta, they developed strong applications to secure funding for their innovative projects. Along with the support of innoscripta’s expert team, the Clusterix software streamlined the entire process. Clusterix, as an intuitive software solution, supported Fritz Winter in the implementation phase by enabling efficient documentation and ensuring compliance with regulatory expectations.
The Impact: Successful research funding
As a result of the collaboration, the approach led to a secure funding process, with faster approvals and greater confidence in compliance.
Over time, the partnership proved to be extremely successful and evolved into a positive working relationship that underscores Fritz Winter’s commitment to continuous innovation and to collaborating with innoscripta.
